Yeah...I'm refusing to go to a doctor nowadays unless I'm literally dying because I'm worried that eventually they'll pass something like a kidney stone and if that happens....RIP to anyone with preexisting conditions. I don't want anything on my medical record.
Naw- no one living in the "Greatest country on Earth" should ever even have to think about those things, right??
Oh you republicans, fool me once shame on you. I won't take them seriously again until they actually do something. I'm not even holding my breath for tax cuts with McConnell and Ryan driving the clown car
Never came down to McCain, there were nearly a dozen Repubs prepared to Not sign off on the last Bill. Unless the Bill is modified in the extreme it will Never pass.
I don't think people realize that McCain wasn't the deciding vote. There were many republicans who were against this and would have voted no. But McCain told them to vote yes for it. He was willing to take the fall for them.
This has the same problem as the last two attempts--it will throw millions off of the healthcare rolls. So it will most likely face the same opposition it has faced before by the same Republican Senators.
Geesh, what is the definition of insanity again? And will someone please send that definition to the Senate Republicans please? They apparently are very slow learners.

1. Leave this issue alone (and I mean that for both parties. The Bernie Sanders single payer bill is every bit as repugnant to me as Cassidy-Graham.)
Or
2. On a bipartisan basis, enact small changes that stabilize the market without creating winners and losers.
Why? Because you like having a for-profit company between you and healthcare? Because you are making over $100k/year so a $100/month increase doesn't matter to you? Because you fear that by having a single payer system will mean more people will actually use the medical system rather than avoid it due to insane costs?
